HOBOKEN — Residents and visitors crowded Sinatra Drive at 1 p.m. Sunday to witness the city’s 11th annual Baby Parade, a tradition in which parents and their toddlers and babies stroll along the waterfront in their summer attire.
The parade, which was sponsored by the Hoboken Historical Museum, featured an awards ceremony with Mayor Dawn Zimmer near Pier A Park.
The parade’s roots extend to the early 20th century. It originated as a way for the public health authorities to identify newly arrived families or families with newborns and to encourage them to take advantage of basic health services.
